Why do kind men almost always turn out to be manipulative?
I thought they were a better alternative to nice guys, but now I'm wondering if they're worse. Nice guys tend to be superficial and simple, while kind men are often great at lowering your guard and easing you into whatever abuse they have mind. Kind men are often better at floating under the radar, at making people feel safe and free from worry, and better at subtlety and self-efficacy, which is what makse you lower your guard.
And this is what so often makes the inevitable abuse so much worse. How it slips in over time before you can react, how you can never pinpoint when it started exactly, and how by the time you finally notice, the damage has already been done (and never leaves you)
Kindness, genuine kindness, seems to be another facade
